Maybe, Just Maybe…

You have read, as have I, of all the town hall meetings disrupted by folks opposed not only to the proposed health care reforms but also opposed to public civility. It reminds me when I was a kid and was playing chess with a good friend. Twice we got to the place where he knew he had no chance. Both times he just swiped the board knocking off all the pieces.

In desperation, people opposed to anything and everything their team did not invent are trying to just swipe the board by knocking out debate, supportive voices or any other rational conversation.

With my friend, it was easy. I didn’t bother playing him a third time.

Maybe, just maybe, Congress will return in the fall with the same sensibility.
